The Mermaid – Great Big Sea Tabbed by: RJ Tuning: Standard This is the gist of what’s going on in this song, as best I can figure. Verse (this pattern repeats for each verse):
When I waCs a lad in a fishing toFwn, CMe old man said to me: F
“You can spend Cyour life, your jolly life, F Just saiGling on the sea.
You can search Cthe world for pretty girls, F ‘till your eyeAms are weak and dim, Em
But donF’t go searching for the mermaid Cson, If you don?G??t know how to swim.” C
Chorus:
F‘Cause her hair was green as seawCeed, Her skiFn was blue and pale, C
Her faceF it was a work of art, C I lFoved that girl with all my heart, C
But I onlFy like the upper parCt, GI did not like the tail. C
Q.E.D Enjoy!
